AUNT MARY’S SWEET CORN FARM 
BONNEWITZ PEONIES FOR FALL SHIPMENT 
During the entire summer season until about the middle of August 
my garden had so little rain that the peonies made no growth at all, 
and I decided that until I could furnish good roots with 1936 growth 
upon them I would not issue a list. 
I have just returned from a trip to my garden in which I used my 
spade and dug one each of many of the most desirable varieties. 
More than 75% of those dug had made excellent growth during the 
last 30 days. I am willing to undertake filling orders for the excel¬ 
lent varieties of peonies in this list. The roots will be the same size I 
have been sending out during the past 16 years. If perchance satis¬ 
factory stock of any variety becomes exhausted, I will return the 
money sent me for that variety. 
On all varieties marked yellow in my list, paper bags must be 
placed over the opening buds in the garden and not removed until the 
open flowers are brought indoors. All yellow varieties, if exposed to 
sunshine or even out-door light, lose the yellow color within an hour 
after opening. 
Because of the lateness of the season I am not printing full de¬ 
scriptions. I hope I will be able to issue a catalog next year.

DOUBLE PEONIES 
Peonies are tedious to dig, wash, divide, and pack, and as I 
have very little help I cannot accept orders under $2.00.
